Alright Bob!
Congratulations on getting it road ready. I know you were concerned about finishing in time. I have to agree with Jeff though, those bars look a little high. The lower you can get on the bike, the better/deeper you can lean into the turns in my humble opinion. Is it fast? With your engine mods, I figure its got to be.
Good luck on the track, its more than fun, its like a slice of heaven.

That's a race bike Lab...leaf spring front end is way to heavy... I have yet to see one that sits right... They all seem to make the front end too hi...
Should be some good racing in that class... I know Turk can ride...

What happened to that top end in the first posts, this looks like regular jug and a puch head?? That top didnt work out?
Yea it didn't work out, FX moved out of town,other things needed doing, things change.
I just got my green bike running and am starting a bike I've been thinking about for a long time

Well that motor was used on a nother bike and it worked out well . It was just a mild ported motor with a RT carb . Here is the finished bike . http://motorbicycling.com/showthread.php?t=43040 Dan
